Lyrics of Matilde Odiava I Gatti - Carmen Consoli

Matilde Odiava I Gatti (original)

Trovava di pessimo gusto
gli eccentrici culturisti dal fiato corto,
le bambole di porcellana adagiate sul letto
tra pizzi e merletti.
Trovava di pessimo gusto
le smanie dЂ™onnipotenza,
quei cani grotteschi in ceramica esposti nellЂ™atrio,
lЂ™indiscrezione, sproloqui gratuiti.
Margherite bianche tra i capelli neri,
Matilde odiava i gatti, gli arrampicatori sociali,
le cravatte verdi, le spiagge affollate.
Matilde odiava i gatti, parenti, vicini e lontani.
Trovava di pessimo gusto
la pornografia occidentale,
il rigore similcattolico,
labbra siliconate ipertrofiche.
Margherite bianche tra i capelli neri,
Matilde odiava i gatti, gli arrampicatori sociali,
le cravatte verdi, le spiagge affollate.
Matilde odiava i gatti, parenti, vicini e lontani.
Margherite bianche tra i capelli neri,
Matilde odiava i gatti, parenti, vicini e lontani.
Matilde odiava il tanfo dЂ™urina,
tipico dei gatti in calore.
Un giorno prese la pistola
dal cassetto e sparІ.
Ne colp¬ uno grigio e lo vide
cadere a terra esanime.
Ma pose fine al proprio dramma
soltanto nel momento in cui
premette il grilletto contro se stessa.
Margherite bianche tra i capelli neri,
Matilde odiava i gatti, gli arrampicatori sociali,
le cravatte verdi, le spiagge affollate.
Matilde odiava i gatti, parenti, vicini e lontani

(translation)

He found it in bad taste
the eccentric bodybuilders with shortness of breath,
the porcelain dolls lying on the bed
between lace and lace.
She found it in bad taste
the cravings for omnipotence,
those grotesque ceramic dogs displayed in the atrium,
the indiscretion, free rants.
White daisies in black hair,
Matilde hated cats, social climbers,
the green ties, the crowded beaches.
Matilde hated cats, relatives, near and far.
She found it in bad taste
western pornography,
the catholic-like rigor,
hypertrophic silicone lips.
White daisies in black hair,
Matilde hated cats, social climbers,
the green ties, the crowded beaches.
Matilde hated cats, relatives, near and far.
White daisies in black hair,
Matilde hated cats, relatives, near and far.
Matilde hated the stench of urine,
typical of cats in heat.
She one day she took the gun
from the drawer and disappeared.
She hit a gray one and she saw it
fall to the ground lifeless.
But she put an end to her own drama
only in the moment in which
she pulled the trigger against herself.
White daisies in black hair,
Matilde hated cats, social climbers,
the green ties, the crowded beaches.
Matilde hated cats, relatives, near and far
